Senecio Wax Ivy

It’s impossible to imagine a healthy plant without leaves. The foliage plants come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes and are completely unique to each region and climate. Gardeners keep these greenies specifically for their attractive foliage. 

Now imagine a situation: you saw a plant with beautiful leaves and want to know what it’s called. So what do you do? Well, there are two main plant leaf id techniques. You can either do it manually or use a leaf identifier. Let’s learn a bit about how to do both.

You would definitely notice several distinct foliage types when identifying plants by leaves. Here are the most common ones to make your leaves identification journey easier. 

*   Broadleaf

Broad leaves are wide and flat. The majority of plants have this kind of foliage. A chestnut tree can be an example. 

*   Needle

Needles are common for cacti and conifer trees. 

*   Scale

These are thin and oblong leaves you can mainly find on cypress trees.

This, however, is only a very general classification. If you want to identify by leaf precisely, you’ll have to learn more details. Getting into books isn’t the only way to get an answer to “What leaf is this?” question, though.

Types of Foliage Plants

How to identify a leaf? You can identify leaves on your own or by using a leaf identifier. Frankly speaking, manual leaf id is a bit complicated. Here are the general steps you have to take. 

*   Take a closer look at the leaf and the plant itself
*   Note most salient leaf features
*   Search through the plant identification literature to find species matching these features
*   Look for the pictures online to confirm if your guess is correct

Did you know that, according to physiological research, touching plant leaves unconsciously calms you down? Leaf identification can be a way to have a bit of rest.

Identifying Plants by Leaves

Here are the main features you should pay attention to when identifying leaves: 

*   Leaf arrangement
*   Leaf shape
*   Leaf’s blade edges
*   Leaf’s vein patterns

There are many other characteristics you’ll need to take account of as well. Thankfully, Plantin spares you from these worries. With PlantIn, you can identify trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plants in a matter of minutes.
